Ah you are correct, my bad. I can't read a calendar.
Wouldn't be surprised if they lost the series. The Astros have played down to their opponents, they're running out Bielak and JP France this...
Pedantic but you probably mean same exact full name. Same given name means they're both named Joseph.
Lol, that's exactly what it is. Any time a big league star plays a game in the minors it's gonna be made a publicity stunt.
Could be something or absolutely nothing. If he's at the 'throwing 25 pitch bullpens' stage, that'd be really really early on in spring training...
Trying hard not to be a pure Dusty apologist but boy I think some people here are just really hard on the guy. If players are not in the Dusty...
I never said you were less of a fan. We're all pretty devoted fans of the Astros. I think fixating on a particular issue in a way that's...
This is baseball fandom done right.
Considering Yuli went through the exact same thing last year, dusty did the exact same thing, and yuli's kicked ass in the playoffs I don't...
Would I be happier if the team were top of the standings? Sure. I'd be happier if we didn't have a crap ton of injuries and under performance...
Lol okay. People just want to dump on Dusty and Maldy. Fine. Dusty's current Astros tenure is one of the most successful current managerial...
I 100% agree it was easier as a fan in the Luhnow/Hinch era to follow moves being able. There was absolutely a comfort in the data/logic. It is...

As Nook or someone mentioned, Crane is definitely looking to recreate the vibe under Luhnow/Hinch where every one was generally on the same page....
Not every metric is publicly available. For example, for Maldy in particular there's a relatively new catcher metric just put out by Mike...
Fangraphs: Mauricio Dubón’s Tear Has Helped the Astros Weather the Loss of Jose Altuve
I low-key think this is working out for the best. Like sure it'd be awesome if he came out and dominated this year. But that was never a...
I want to point out I'm not particularly for or against what they're doing with Yainer. He's clearly performing well in his limited sample,...
Well yeah, that's Nook's point. It's the non-stat line stuff primarily holding him back. Consistent effort, thorough opposing hitter review for...
Funny thing is that Diaz probably won't find a better opportunity than having his competition be a cheaply paid, veteran starter that is rapidly...
